It didn't struck me until I received Liang Kooi's text yesterday morning. Yes, we have graduated. Yes, we are leaving to separate ways.
It was an amazing one and a half year. In fact, it was also so busy and fast that I felt like our orientation was just yesterday. From clueless teenage to matured college graduate, we spend our time knowing each other, growing fond or dislike towards each other and eventually treasuring every moment we have together. Of course, we have gone through countless examinations and assignments that our time never seem to be enough. But somehow, out of this tightly-packed schedule of AUSMAT programme, we still find time to discover various interesting activities, videos, games, songs, sports and so much more to make our lives a fun and colourful one.
As we are growing older and facing more farewell every time, the sorrow stays. So does the memories and friendship. I do not have the chance to bid good bye to each and everyone of my course mate, so here I wish all of you the best in your future undertakings.
"Kalaulah berumur panjang, bolehlah kita berjumpa lagi"
Take care.
For all those times you stood by me For all the truth you made me see For all the joy you brought to my life For all the wrong that you made right For every dream you made come true For all the love I found in you
I will be forever thankful, baby
You are the one who held me up and never let me fall You are the one who saw me through
You were my strength when I was You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best that was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'cause you believed-
I am everything I am,
because you loved me.
—— This picture made me think of "Because you loved me" by Celine Dion

When it comes to time to describe my feeling towards the end of my programme and examinations, I am lack of emotions and words. What I meant was, it was a peaceful moment without any uneasy feelings. We have made through one and a half year of studies, tests and events. I know there are still various means to stay connected, and I know we will still see each other. Till then, best of luck.

.... so we violate the copyright law. According to the advertisement prior every movie we watch in cinema, we are BURNING the industry. Some other people refer this as action of stealing.
Well, law expert disagrees.

According to Stefan Larsson, lawyer and socio-legal researcher at Lund University in Sweden, "theft" is a metaphor that create the gap between social perspective and the law.
Does this mean we could continue to do this? The ease of access to information has render us ungrateful towards the resources we obtain.
Would legislative actions increase the awareness over this issue?
“There are naturally many examples of when tougher laws change behavior, and there are also even examples of when tougher laws have made a substantial contribution in changing social norms. However, there are a few possible drawbacks when law turns repressive,” said Larsson, “(the laws) would need to make everyone think differently about reality.”
We still have a long way to go, to enjoy both the convenience of digital era and appreciate others' work at the same time.
May health and love be with you
- A tribute to those fighting with cancer, from the bottom of my heart I pray.
She dropped the phone and burst into tears
The doctor just conformed her
fears
Her husband held her in and held her tight
Cancer don’t discriminate
Or
care if you’re just 38
With three kids who need her in their lives
He
said, “I know that you’re afraid and i am, too"
But you’ll never be alone, I promise you”
When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let
go, I’ll hold on
And when you need to cry, i swear that i’ll be there to dry your
eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can’t take one more
step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you
through it.
She made it through the surgery fine
They said they cut
her just in time
but they had to take more than they planned
Now it’s
forced smiles and baggy shirts
to hide what cancer took from her
but she
just wants to feel like a woman again
She said, “ I don’t think I can do this any more”
He took her in his arms and said “that’s what my love is
for”
When you’re weak, i’ll be strong
When you let go, i’ll hold on
And when you need to cry, I swear that i’ll be there to dry your eyes
when you feel lost and scared to death,
like you can’t take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.
and when the road gets too long
I will be the rock you lean on
Just take
my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.
I’m gonna
love you through it.
